OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Set K3b To Eject Disk After Ripping?
Apr 7, 2011
I have started to use K3b for ripping my CDs to flac files in order to put them on a NAS but have a few niggles with how it works.
I used to use Grip and in many ways preferred the interface and flexibility but had to change because I didn't know how to increase the number of attempts made by cdparanoia to rip difficult tracks and Grip fell down on one particular brand new CD opera set.
After posting queries here Asunder was suggested, among others and although (I understand,) Asunder also rips using cdparanoia, it succeeded on a CD where Grip failed. It also had a reasonable interface and it was easy to adjust tagging before ripping. Unfortunately Asunder has recently failed on another CD so I decided to try K3b.
K3b allows me to adjust the number of retries and this has been sufficient to enable me to overcome the most recalcitrant CDs. Great, but in many other respects K3b is a pain to use. I cannot find how to get it to eject the CD once ripping has been completed. Even after the CD has been ejected the track tags remain in the display until a new CD is loaded and the tagging interface is limited.
I have a physical storage problem and want to put my VHS tapes onto disk. I have an unused Hauppauge WinTV-PVR350 which I understand should do the job but can I do it using Linux? I seek some pointers on what program to use, how to do it and tag the resulting files and help installing my Hauppauge card and any driver if required. I have openSUSE 11.4 (64bit) installed using KDE desktop.
I'm a newbie to Suse and determined to stick with it.Mp3s play in amarok, option to rip cd to mp3s as well. However empty folder created with no MP3. I tried K3B and error re: need MP3 Mad MP3 library. I have read various forum posts and can't pinpoint where the issue arises.I have gone through steps on multimedia repos and restricted formats. I will submit details of my system shortly, but in meantime wonder if there is a simple solution I am missing not done.
I am installing a number of boxes with RHEL 6, using a kickstart file I made and put on a boot disk.I am having trouble, however, when using this disk. The boot loader recognizes my kickstart file, but when it prompts me that it can't find the RHEL distro on my disk, and that I need to insert the DVD that contains the distro, I cannot eject the CD. Button pushy, no ejecty. I tried a paper clip to open the drive, but even after inserting the distro disk this way, it doesn't see it. It's like anaconda is wrapped around the mount of the boot disk and won't let go.
There's nothing special I need to have in the kickstart file for this to work right? I have thought about putting an eject statement in the post section, but that isn't even used until the OS is installed is it? I can get around this by creating a distro DVD with my kickstart file, but I'd rather not do that, and use the kickstart/boot disk functionality as intended.
I am trying to rip my "Queen's Greatest Hits I" CD to my hard drive as FLAC files. For the most part, it's going well. But let's say I want to rip Track 16 (We Will Rock You) and Track 17 (We Are The Champions) as one track. (Because really, who ever listens to those tracks separately???)
What is the best CD ripper software to use to accomplish this? So far I've tried Asunder & Audex, but I don't want to download every ripper before I find one that will let me do this easily.
I was able to do what I wanted in cdparanoia at the shell:
Apart from KsCD and CD Player, (both of which are pretty good, but very basic), I have found it impossible to eject any music CD or DVD on any of the following:
Amarok JuK Media Kaffeine MPlayer and SMPlayer,
there does not seem to be any button, command or whatever to get the CD or DVD out of the drive, so now find that only way, is to stop player and then to open CD Player and use the eject button there.
I am using Brasero 2.30.2 on Ubuntu 10.04. The problem is that whenever I use Brasero to burn any CD/DVD, it burns it but refuses to eject, although I always select the option to eject disk after burning. Instead, it displays a message saying something like "Please eject the disk manually to finish the burning process".
I've been doing some searching on the internet about how to rip my cd's to mp3 within ubuntu. I seem to find that LAME isn't a good way to convert the files. I saw the sticky within the forums and RubbyRipper is recommended, but the installation seemed a bit confusing to me. Everything else I found through my search was considerably old. I'm using Karmic Koala. Any suggestions? (This is also a sticking point for people I try to convince to switch over to ubuntu, btw.)
I travel a lot and I want to convert all my DVD's to avi format so that I can play them through my media player. K3b has an option for ripping DVD, but it doesn't seem to do anything!
I've got a bin/cue duo that contains 1 data track and some audio tracks I wish to rip. However, I can't get to the audio tracks. I've tried mounting the bin/cue with AcetoneISO, but it just shows me the data part. I've tried converting the files using
Code: bchunk foo.bin foo.cue foo
and it converts to 2 files, an iso and a cdr. The .cdr file, as far as I can see, cannot be opened by anything. And so I turn to you, dear fellow Ubuntu-ers for assistance. How can I get to the audio files in the image and rip them?
I've been using the rubyripper gui on 10.04 for a while now, using my samsung se-so84 external dvd writer and I really like it. The problem is, I seem to have found that a small handful of my CDs will not rip at all. it says that it is ripping the first trial of the first track and never progresses past this. I check the files and the temporary .wav file. usually, when this file is created it is of size 44 bytes and increases to a number of MB in a matter of seconds. in the case of the albums that do not work, the file remains very small, all being 32KB, with the exception of one that is 64KB and another that remained 44 bytes. I check the log files and they all read:
Code: STATUS Starting to rip track 1, trial #1 Filesize is not correct! Trying another time Starting to rip track 1, trial #1 However, this appears to be normal as I checked the log of an album that ripped correctly and it started with this.
So I tried using the command line mode and that didn't work either. the ouput was: Code: STATUS Ripping progress (0 %) Ripping track 1 Expected filesize for track 1 is 66389948 bytes. and then it exits. in the directory, an empty temp folder has been created and the album's folder contains a log file that ends after STATUS. I tried using a CD that works on the gui and the command line did the same thing. could this be something to do with the incorrect filesize that the log showed for all CDs?
I recorded many useful lectures this year. They are now on my HDD an with their 196Kb/s mp3 compression they take almost 30Gigs of space.good GUI Ubuntu 10.4 program for ripping them to smallest size possible (I don't care about quality - they are voice recordings) 8 Kb/s would be nice. But all programs I have tested since offer me only higher qualities.
Since 10.04, dvdrip will not finish ripping without crashing on multi episode disk. Reopened dvdrip to copy log files (below) and only part of log remains, but now transcode is available where before it was not. This dvd has 22 chaptors and it crashed at the end of 21. 22 came up on the progress bar but just stalled there.
After successfully playing a DVD video (w/VLC) I close VLC, eject the DVD, then insert another disk. I get an error message: "Error mounting: mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/{name of previous disk} busy." But mount command doesn't show /dev/sr0 and ls /media shows nothing. I have to log out, then log back in in order to play another video. (same result with mplayer)
I've just started to use Rythmbox, and as I was ripping CDs I noticed that the songs ripped as .ogg files by default. I use Rythmbox to sync with my iPod Classic (80 gig, if it matters), so I would prefer that the songs ripped in .mp3 or AAC. Is this possible without leaving Rythymbox? If not, what's the most user-friendly software available to rip CDs in .mp3 or AAC?
I have followed step by step instructions from different support forums and have not had any luck being able to watch or rip dvds with any kind of encryption
I've been ripping some of our CD's to .ogg and .mp3 for listening at work with a Sansa Fuze. Have used RubyRipper but lately been using Rhythmbox. The app finds titles online, and it's all pretty easy.
Some rips are louder or quieter and that's a little annoying. But the biggest problem is with tracks that blend together and the app can't figure out how to dissect them. The Eagles "Dalton" CD is a mess. Also some Don Henley tracks, Creedence Clearwater, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.
I could use RubyRipper to rip the entire CD as one file. Or use RubyRipper to rip just the troublesome tracks as one file. Or maybe screw around with the tracks in Audacity? Was hoping that some of you have better fixes.
There are a bunch of threads on this website about this subject. None of which offered a final solution.One spoke of burning the '.aa' file to a CD and them ripping it to remove the DRM.I got it burned to a CD. What applications under linux do I need to rip it. I've tried just about everything I can find in the repository and nothing worksquestion:Do we know what the DRM code looks like and where it existed in the file. Is it something that can be removed with a hexeditor?
is it possible to rip a Video DVD to hdd with a command line command ? Or with a bash script. What I want it to do is to rip the Video DVD as is in VIDEO_TS structure to the HDD. No encoding to other formats.
When i insert a cd or memory stick and try to eject it i see the message:"Cannot eject the disk. One or more files on this disk are open within an application."And of course i can't eject it. To eject the cd i must reboot my PC.I have tested to insert a cd without open something from it with no results.Always shows the same message.I also want to notice that except dolphin i use nautilus which is necessary for Dropbox.
On my a few years old 64-bit Debian oldstable/Wheezie machine, I noticed my SATA DVD writer drive likes to close right away after I tell KDE v4.8.4's Dolphin to eject it. If I use terminal's eject command, then it will stay ejected until I manually close the drive. Why is that happening?
When i try to select a codec for ripping a dvd to in acidrip, there are no codecs in the menu that is meant to be there. I have tried reinstalling mencoder and acidrip but no luck. running lucid with latest updates.this has not worked since i first installed lucid. i also get this when i run mencoder.

I recently finished ripping my CD collection. Some of the files don't play; VLC and other players can run them, but there's no sound. Running oggz-validate shows errors like this: granulepos 0 on page with no completed packets (I didn't know about oggz-validate when I was ripping, otherwise I'd have checked as I went.) I can't see a pattern: with some CDs it's the whole CD, with others, just some tracks.
I pretty much ran with the default abcde options. I upped the quality at one point, but dropped it back again. Before I replace the bad files, does anyone have any advice on what to do or avoid? I've tried googling the error, but haven't found anything useful.
When ripping a CD, Banshee produces two songs in my library for each track on the CD. Both songs point to the same file in my Music folder (so just one actual file). Also of note, one of the songs is always a few seconds shorter than the other. I can safely remove the shorter version of each song from my library without repercussions, it's just annoying and weird.
I am looking at ripping the audio from a very old episode of 'In Our Time'. The episode is so old that it predates the podcast (which of course, would solve all my problems). I would like to use something like icecream or VLC to rip the audio from the 'Listen Now' link on this page. Unfortunately I am having a hard time finding the actual URL. The player itself is a Flash widget, so it is something more complicated than looking for OGG, mp3 or RAM file extensions in the page source. If there are some nifty command flags I should add when invoking icecream on the command line, I am all ears.
